On the rhetoric . . .
And I'd be happy to go through his voting record in Illinois, but I've done it once and you still believe that he wanted to teach 6-year olds about sex. So, if something as obvious as that can't get you to change your opinion, I don't really want to spend the time and the effort on changing your opinion on the others.
Plus, I'm supporting Obama, but since the people of Illinois who know Obama best are voting for him at a 60-65% clip, I'll be voting third party. We need more options as McCain and Obama now have basically the same views publicly and both lean more left than they're showing. The real difference between the candidates is whether you want to finish Afghanistan or go into Iran and tax rates for those making over 250k that get most of their income through passive means, IMO. Other than that, I don't think we'll be affected differently.
